BS EN 62534:2015 PDF

Scope: What is BS EN 62534- Highly sensitive hand-held instruments for neutron detection about? BS EN 62534 is a European standard on r adiation protection instrumentation that discusses highly sensitive hand-held instruments for neutron detection of radioactive material to ensure radiation protection. BS EN 62534 applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of neutron emitting radioactive material. These instruments are highly sensitive meaning that they are designed to detect slight variations in the range of usual background that may be caused by illicit trafficking or inadvertent movement of radioactive material. This high sensitivity allows scanning of larger volume items such as vehicles and containers. These instruments may also be used in fixed or temporally fixed unattended mode to monitor checkpoints or critical areas.
